You Make Money by Saving Money, Right?

Hospitals, when faced with a decrease in utilization, changed their coding so they got paid more for admission. So it didn't work. It seemed like it was working, but the core bottom line thing, the costs, they didn't come down. And we only get paid. Like we had done all this work, burned all this cash,. hired all these people, gotten all the hopes of these doctors up and told them, hey, it's working. We're going to get paid. But you don't get paid for improving quality or reducing hospitalizations. You get paid if total cost of care comes down.
